MAKEOVER COMPETITORS SHARE PADDOCK

Dawalan and Mr. Hot Stuff, who competed in the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover competition in September, are spending the winter together on Rosie Allen’s Maryland farm. She captured the gray Dawalan and Mr. Hot Stuff playing in their paddock. Both won the Grand National (Gr. 1) and Dawalan was the 2015 Eclipse Award winner. Here is the video:

From accomplished steeplechasers who each won the Grand National Hurdle, to 2019 Thoroughbred Makeover competitors, to… roommates!Yep, two of our favorite ex-steeplechasers and #TBMakeoverGrads Dawalan (grey) and Mr Hot Stuff (dark bay) have gone from competitors to best buds this winter when Quinn Scala moved Mr Hot Stuff to Rosie Allen’s property. Rosie sent us this video filmed from her kitchen window: imagine having this as your view every morning over coffee!
